During the last 10–15 years the following paradox has occurred in the Romanian R&D: on the one hand, some important institutional transformations have taken place. On the other hard, a drastic diminution in the scientific and technological production has been going on. In a causal analysis of this state of the art, this paper approaches a group of issues less analysed until now in the Romanian economic literature aiming to improve the research–related activities such as: scientific information and documentation, assessing and evaluation criteria of the R&D units and projects, scientific publications and the international visibility of the Romanian R&D potential.
